Servings: 8
Equipment
- 8”x8” square baking pan
Ingredients
Crumble:
- ½ cup all-purpose flour 68 g
- ½ cup rolled oats 50 g
- ½ cup brown sugar 107 g
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon apple pie spice
- 4 oz unsalted butter cubed and cold
- ½ cup pecans roughly chopped, 55 g
Apple and plum filling:
- 2 lbs of fruits mix of apples and plums
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh squeezed or bottled
- ½ cup brown sugar 107 g
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
- 1 tablespoon tapioca flour 7 g
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- First, make the crumble by mixing together the flour, rolled oat, brown sugar, salt and apple pie spice in a medium mixing bowl.
- Add the cubed cold butter to the flour mixture and press the pieces with your fingers until all of the butter pieces are flattened and the mixture resembles slightly wet sand.
- Toss the chopped pecans into the crumble mixture and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Wash the fruits, peel and core the apples, remove the plum stones, and cut the fruits up into bite site pieces. Cut the plums into pieces slightly larger than the apples since they will soften faster when baked. Toss the cut up fruits with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice in a large mixing bowl.
- In a small mixing bowl, stir together brown sugar, salt, apple pie spice and tapioca flour. Add the sugar mixture to the fruits and mixture to distribute evenly.
- Transfer the fruit filling to a square baking pan, spread the crumble over the top evenly.
- Bake for about 35 - 40 minutes until the filling is bubbly and the crumble is golden.
Notes
- I used 2 medium apples and 4 large plums. If your plums are smaller, use more of them. You’ll want a total of 2 lbs of fruits.
- If at any point, your crumble starts to brown too much, you can tent the baking pan with a large piece of foil and continue baking.
